Lazy man sample drumkit test/ and cleaning the lib

open all your drum sounds from the kit in VLC (free for Mac/linux/win)
go to vlc menu set playback to repeat all and random playback
now it plays all the sounds back in random order
now its its easy to make out sounds that don't fit,
just delete them ...

Nice. I added a feature like this to the TRG Maker long ago for the same reason. If you drop samples on it and hit the Play button up top it will trigger the samples randomly. http://luktown.org/random/trg/ Obviously made for NS1 but I guess you could still use it to collect a set of samples. Then go to Export and it will zip them all up. Just delete the whatever.trg file.

what makes this trick extra nice is u don't have to move anything to listen to it in context.
U start moving files after you made decisions, this saves a hell lot of time.

I started out with an ridiculous amount of samples like 10.000 or something
now Im down to the 500 samples I like and the rest is in the trash bin.
goes very quick, including massive editing of the sounds it took just 4 days

its just 21 mb of drums now, it would all fit in the ram of an old school mpc,
who would have thought?

AudioShare has a default behavior similar - within a given folder of samples, tap play icon on the top sample, (not the sample name, which puts the sample in the viewer, just tap the play triangle) and AS plays the list of samples one by one...

Oh wait, randomize is behind one of those buttons at the bottom of the page, not in the menu

Maybe you need to press the button left to it too ... so it cycles forever
It’s works the easiest way if u tell the system before to open all audio data with vlc then you can just click on things (.aif, .wav, what have you)
And tell vlc to not open in fullscren mode
Then you can have your vlc on one side of screen your file tree on the other ...
I do it with vlc and 2 „finder“ windows, works really fast if you use the usuall keyboard shortcuts ( all, quit, shift click, alt click, cut, copy paste, delete..)
Im so used to these shortcuts I don’t have to think I just press them
I went through x thousands of files that way in a few days
